NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND

If you like little kids and you like kittens, you'll probably like this:

Yeah. I don't know how much coaching was involved here, but it's funny stuff.

It's wonderful.

...........

I don't like small kids.

I like them even less now.

Man if I ever did that as a child I hope my parents told me to stfu.

but ... the cuteness ...

Maybe you'll like this better:

At least that would have been fun to make.

And yes, Ringlets, I like kittens.

I think if I ever have kids, they'll be like that little girl. Coherent, creative, smart and not afraid to express themselves.

Also, the part of Cynical Blonde Lady would be played by me in the Riverside version.

I think the other Lady, the one that's kinda hot, is the best mimer.

Creative? Creative would be drawing the kittens and writing the story, not just attaching mostly unsuitable statements to cat pictures. Smart would be applying suitable statements, and as for not being afraid to express herself, well. Some people SHOULDN'T express themselves. Like serial killers. Or small children with books on cats.

Not to mention she's applying human emotions to animals, a mistake which granted adult humans do too, but I had cats from when I was about 3 years old onwards and I never suggested my cats were of any emotional disposition at any given time unless they were purring, miaowing or flicking their tails around.

It wouldn't be very creative if they were suitable statements.

Well I wouldn't want my kids to be afraid of expressing themselves. I wouldn't want them to be serial killers either though, so, I guess, good point?

She's applying human emotions to photos of cats, which as you've stated above, is not the same thing at all.

Also, she's a little kid...

"You're a mean one, Ms. Grinch"

Jesus, calm down. I thought Mickey Mouse was real when I was a little kid. When your in your 30s is soon enough to become cynical and cold-hearted.

I hate the quoting system on here, I had to wade through like six quote boxes to get what I wanted.

The creativity would like in creating a story out of it, not just stringing random, inapplicable sentences to pictures. Any kid can pick up a book and say something irrelevant about a picture, I don't see how that's creative?

And I know she's a little kid. I'm saying all this relative to that. When I was a kid that small I was writing copies full of stories and illustrating them, and I'm not exactly of above average intelligence or creativity now. So I don't see how she's any more creative, coherent or whatever than any other child, is all I'm saying. I don't get why it's cute or clever. It's random babbling about cats.

This reminds me - on my book forum, a mum proudly said how her kid had taken his first half dozen steps without any support. Now, of course that's great and something to document and all, coz it's her kid. But people started saying, 'what a clever child!' and 'you've got a special little boy there!'

Em. Well, no. He'd be special alright if he couldn't walk, he'd the the kind of 'special' you put airquotes around, and he'd definately be clever had he been a parapalegic prior to the event, but other than that, no, neither clever nor special - perfectly average and normal.

Zippy - I've always been cynical. And I despise small children.
